Review: Ventless Heater
In 2006 my electric went off for a few hours but it wasn’t for days on end. It was in 2006 that I determined that I was going to purchase a Ventless Heater and have it installed before the winter hit in 2007.
In the heat of the summer of 2007 I made a trip to Lowes with one purpose in my mind and on my list and that was to purchase a Ventless Gas Heater for my home. I wanted something big enough to heat most of my home if it was needed. I found a Comfort Glow 30,000 BTU Ventless Heater for a little over $200.00. When I left Lowes I had it and all the hookups I needed in my basket. People looked at me like I was crazy, buying a heater in 100 degree weather.
On Sunday, December 9, 2007 at 2:30 a.m. my electric went off. No electric, no central heat. No heat and my house gets really cold. It’s insulated but it still gets really cold. I got my flashlight and I went over to the Comfort Glow that had been installed in October and I pushed down on the pilot button and then I pushed on the ignition button. The pilot was lit and within a minute that heater was going. It has a blower but the blower doesn’t work without electric. That heater heated my whole house without a fan, the heater was set on three, it goes up to five. I was so glad that I had purchased that Ventless Heater. Without it I would have been forced to go find a place to shelter until power was restored to my home. I got electric back on December 15 at 4:00 p.m.
I would recommend anyone who has a gas line to buy a Ventless Heater for emergency use. It hangs on the wall and takes up so little space, yet it is a big asset to have on hand. That with my two burner camp stove, which ran on propane, kept me in considerable comfort during the outage. For those without a gas line, they also sell propane types. Check it out, it may save you a lot in the long run.
